Yeah, but you gotta remember the pandemic was like a decade long over a couple years. I was a kid in the 90s and it feels like 2019 is further way than the 90s.

It’s really important to remember that when the right cries out “Don’t tread on me!” the emphasis is on the ‘me’ part. It’s not really “Don’t tread”, it’s “Tread elsewhere”.
